"In recent weeks, there have been increasing and disturbing reports of attempted importation of arms and ammunition into the country.

"Most recently, the Ghana Police Service intercepted a truckload of arms destined for Nigeria.

"The arms and ammunition were concealed in a lorry with an inscription of Coca-Cola brand name on it. In the consignment were pump action guns, AK 47 rifles, double-barrel guns and a large quantity of AA and BB cartridges.

"According to the Accra regional police command, the vehicle was intercepted following a tip-off from residents in the area that a truckload with a Nigerian number plate was heading for the Ghana-Togo border with offensive arms...

"Coming at this time that Nigeria is in the throes of its worst security problem posed by the terrorist sect, Boko Haram, the incessant reports of attempted arms importation into the country, is a present danger that should be tackled swiftly.

"Only a day after the Nigeria-bound arms were intercepted in Ghana, a Briton, Mr. Gary Hyde, an arms dealer from Yorkshire, England, was arraigned in a London court for allegedly smuggling 80,000 guns and 32 million rounds of ammunition from China to Nigeria.

"Mr Hyde has also been fingered as the arms merchant behind the 2007 shipment of 40,000 AK 47 assault rifles, 10,000 9mm pistols into Nigeria..."

I believe it is quite easy to create an army of mercenaries to start a revolution in any third world country. Most of those people live in complete poverty and they will do anything to better their lives. When you live in such conditions without hope or future, if an Israeli comes around and offer them a couple thousand dollars each to stir up some conflict, that will only benefit Israel, these people will accept the money and do whatever they are told. What these so called "rebels" don't know or realize, is that they will eventually end up dead. Dead witnesses can't talk.

I believe it is highly possible CIA or western mercenaries are in Syria. Once again, it is seen as another "opportunity" to weaken Iran or whomever we consider our enemies in the ME. Do we not realize though that Syria is essentially a civil war between Sunnis and Shia???
